Specifications

The SURU S19 is a unique electric moped innovation from an electric motorcycle manufacturer from Canada. The company is a subsidiary of one of the first pioneers in electric motorcycles since 2011, Amarok Racing, a company that created worlds first fully monocoque electric superbike, the Amarok P1.

The SURU scooters are 100% made in Canada and 60% of the materials are sustainably sourced in Canada.

The name SURU is based on the initials of the names of the children from the founder of the company, Michael Uhlarik, an international award-winning motorcycle designer who studied industrial design in Toronto, France and at London’s prestigious Royal College of Art.

The SURU S19 is a modified version of the SURU Scrambler. The S19 is optimized for regular road / city usage.

The S19 is an electric mobility solution that essentially invents it’s own category. It is a bicycle-moped cross over that shares parts from both a motorcycle and a bicycle. The moped offers bike pedals and big motorcycle wheels, suspension and brakes.

“SURU combines the casual ease of use of a bicycle with the sweat-free thrill of a motorbike. So many people are attracted to motorcycles, who love the look of cafe racers and custom culture, but getting into motorcycling can be intimidating and expensive. SURU is the ideal gateway without the pain.”

The scooter is powered by a 250, 500 or 750 watt in-wheel electric motor for a top speed of 32 km/h.

The scooter has a removable Lithium battery made by Sony for a range of 50-70km. The charge time of the battery is 3.5 hours. The battery is lockable to prevent theft.

The scooter is durable and robust. The wheels are 3x stronger than regular moped wheels and are rated at 100 km/h. All electronics are integrated in the monocoque frame to make it impossible to be damaged by vandalism. The 1600 lumen head light is built in and not bolted on. The design has been prepared for public scooter sharing usage.

The scooter is equipped with a motorcycle-grade 110mm brake drum (front wheel). The advantage of the brake is that it does not emit air pollution.

Less air pollution than most electric scooters

Air pollution by disc brakes is more toxic for humans than exhaust fumes and up to 20% of the air pollution emitted by a standard vehicle is caused by disc brakes. While the SURU S19 does use a rear disc brake, the front brake does not emit air pollution. When the electric motor in the rear wheel would be configured to provide braking power (regenerative braking) it may be possible to skip using the rear disc brake and prevent the most toxic kind of air pollution.

The scooter can be equipped with carrying bags for cargo and delivery purposes. The scooter can be customized to meet specific business requirements.

Custom colors

The scooter can be personalized with a custom design.

Send us a colour swatch, colour reference code, or a photo of a design you love and we will make a SURU frame to match.

Distributor

Using modern platforms such as www.uship.com, international transport of the scooter may cost less than ₹10.000.

Uship makes it possible to make use of otherwise wasted space in international transport. There may be similar services in India.

An electric motor does not require maintenance and for basic maintenance it is possible to use regular scooter garages or modern service providers such as Bosch E-scooter Service with over 14.000 locations globally. (Bosch is producer of electric motors).

Disc Brakes: air pollution

Air Pollution by Disc Brakes causes 20% of the total emissions by a standard car and the pollution (ultra-fine dust) is more toxic for humans than exhaust fumes.

"Vehicle tailpipe emissions are going down, but the emissions from disc brakes will remain to some extent, even if you drive an electric car," Weber said. "Therefore, this kind of process will continue to play out in the future and will be an important consideration when we look at the health effects of particulate matter." (Phys.org)
